2026 Kawasaki W230 ABS

Motorcycle

THE ORIGINAL ICON

This member of the W family nods to the past but rides full throttle into the future. With design inspired by the 1965 650-W1 model, the W230 motorcycle packs a modern punch with Kawasaki's proven 233cc fuel-injected 4-stroke engine. The original icon continues with a light weight, low seat height, and friendly power character that opens ‘60s design to more riders than ever before.
Starting at $5,699 MSRP
